Jim Jones On the Rise Again
First, Jim Jones and Ron Browse came Out with Pop Champagne which I hear does extremely well in the clubs.
But recently he has recorded a song called day and night which is a song that sounds like Jim Jones is in a drug induced fog.
The best thing about the song is the hook which is very infectious.
I believe that we have a lot more creative music to hear from Cameron's one time road dog Jimmy Jones.
So, I want to say peace out to Jim Jones and his crew. Definitely keep it bangin.

Diddy's A Daddy Again
Today Diddy revealed that he has agreed to pay Sarah Chapman $25,000 per month for child support for his daughter Chance. Chance's mother is a photographer from Atlanta.
It also appears that Diddy was still with Kim Porter, the mother of his twins born three months after Chance.
Diddy has a total of six children and pays a small fortune to support them. But then you know what they say, Diddy got it.
So lets recap Diddy's children's names, D'Lila, Star, Jessie James, Christian, 10, Justin, 13, and last but not least little Chance.
Well Diddy it's obvious that you have found out what the most important aspect of life is, family.

Slim Doing Well Without 112
Everywhere I look I see and hear good things coming from the singer known as Slim from the group 112.
112 was discovered by Diddy who in those days was called Puffy. The group was in Atlanta and they met the man himself. The began by singing and showing Diddy what they can do.
Diddy wasn't sure and called Faith to listen to them. Faith took one listen and told Diddy he would be a fool if he didn't sign them and the rest is history as they say.
112 is no longer with Bad Boy and they are not really together even if they still pretend they are.
Most of the groups members are working on solo projects like Slim. Slim presently has songs with other R&B and rap entertainers like Jadakiss. His song "So fly" is doing very well on the charts.
Slim's voice is very unique and well known. Recently he was on the Ed Lover morning show talking about his new projects and plans for the future.
I have also heard rumors that group members of 112 have been fighting over money. Allegedly one of the members took a check for writing a song that another member wrote.
As I always say anytime something goes wrong with a group it's usually over money.
Slim has the right attitude and was smart enough to get away from the 112.

Barak Obama Wins Election
On November, 4Th, the future was written and history was made when millions of Americans voted with their heads and chose the future over racism and prejudice.
Many went to sleep and awoke to find that Barak Obama had been elected as the President of the United States.
His election is one for the history books because he is the first African-American to hold the position of President in the United States. His election has proven to the rest of the world that America is a united country and lives up to it's ideals.
Many older African Americans had tears in their eyes because they never believed that they would live to see an African-American elected president and I must agree it was a sobering moment when he was announced the winner of the election.
Barak Obama is the President Elect of the United States and will be sworn in about seventy-three days.
Barak obama has come from humble beginnings to hold the highest office in the land and we the people are proud.

America Must Decide The Future
Tommorrow American's all over the country will go to the polls and elect a new President.
During the last twenty weeks we have watched Barak Obama and John McCain debate and attempt to convince us that one can run the country better than the other.
Obama became the front runner because he has proven himself to be a thinker who actually cares about the American people.
While McCain really didn't have to much to say on the subjects of easing the American peoples pain that has been caused by the recession.
Then McCain choose Sarah Palin to run as his Vice Presidential running mate. Great looking woman but not much in the intelligence arena.
The bottom line is that Obama's goal is to make things better for the country while McCain's plan is to make sure things remain the same as President Bush has made them.
So, It's up to you Mr. and Mrs. American Citizen. Make your choice a good one.

Diddy Buys Enyce From Liz Claiborne.
Recently Rap Mogul known as Diddy bought the long forgotten Enyce clothing line from Liz Claiborne Inc. for 20 million dollars.
You may remember that Enyce was a hot clothing line about 10 years ago and now is worn by people mostly when its laundry day.
However whats really interesting is that the line was purchased from sports brand international by Liz Claiborne in 2003 for 114 million dollars.
I guess if Diddy can revamp the line and put it back on the level that it was years ago he can double or even triple his investment.
One minute rumors are saying that Diddy can't afford gas for his leased jet and the next minute he is spending 20 million dollars.
It just goes to show that you can't believe everything you read or hear. I wish Diddy good luck. Encye may rise again.

T.I. King Of The South Reigns Again
Well my friends T.I. is officially back in the game and he has the number one record this week. First his sugar daddy anthem "Whatever You like" is number one on the charts.
He also has a hit song with Kanye, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne called as if you didn't know Swagger Like Us.
And believe it or not a lot of people were upset that T.I. didn't invite them to be on the song with him. I'm not going to name names but most of them will be coming out with their own swagger song.
But my favorite is the song that has Rihanna on the it called "Live Your Life". Its hot because T.I. lets everyone know that the song is for everyone know who is fake or has crossed him that they are nothing to him and can't stop him.
T.I. still has to serve a year stemming from the automatic weapons charges that he caught from the feds. But I'm sure his fans will wait for him.

Swagger Over Flows
Today I am sad to report that everyone has gone Swagger crazy. It all began when a singer, songwriter and producer who goes by the name of M.I.A recorded a song called Paper Planes.
In her song she says no body on the block got swagger like us. The next thing you know everyone is on the Swagger bandwagon.
The first Swagger like us is hot and featured Jay-Z, Kanye, T.I. and Lil Wayne. But now the word on the street is that Diddy is going to do a song and Chris Brown, Neyo are going to make a swagger song for the R&B crowd.
I believe that we have enough songs with swagger in them and overusing and abusing the word causes the listening audience to get bored very quickly.
So, if you really want to help Hip-Hop encourage artist to at least come up with original concepts like M.I.A. did.

"It's Not Your Son's Honda"
Today I saw a car that had a very expensive and well thought out design to it. At first I thought it was a BMW because that's what it appeared to be at first. Then after a closer look it turned out to be a new Honda.
But this Honda looks like a new luxury breed. Gone are the plain Jane looks. This car can easily hold its own with vehicle that cost twice the price.
In my opinion Honda has won the war against Ford because they gave up when they discontinued the Taurus. It was rumored that the Ford Five Hundred was going to be re badged and called the Taurus.
I'm not sure if it ever happened but it doesn't matter because the new Honda is all that.

GM Has Built A Better Malibu
I was taking care of some business at the Chevrolet dealer when I looked at a vehicle that I had scene in a Magazine. The vehicle was sleek and looked like a foreign model. But after closer examination it turned out to be the New GM Malibu sedan.
The paint was nice and the trade mark bow tie sits right in the middle of the grill.
GM has finally built a car that can give the imports a run for the money.
I'm told that the new Malibu comes in a sportier model also and is even more eye catching.
The new Malibu is hot so check it out.

Kanye Blacks Out At LAX
Recently it was reported that Kanye was at LAX and observed the Media recording him.
So what did Kanye do. He grabbed the photographers equipment and proceeded to break it.
The funny part of the story is that Kanye did not know that there was someone else recording the whole incident on camera. So the police come and what does Kanye do. He tries to attack the person recording the scene and tells the man to give him the camera or he will kick the mans you know what in front of the police.
I really believe that Kanye has lost his mind. I know he's rich and famous but believe me he is not arrest and jail proof. Ask Remey Ma and Dabrat. Not cool Kanye.

Democrats Realistic, Republicans Charismatic
I watched both the Democratic Convention and the Republican Convention. And I am said to say that the Republicans were more Charismatic than their Democratic counterparts.
Romney and Huckabee both gave funny and convincing speech's for why Mcain and Palin should be given a shot at running the country.
And as far as Palin's problems go, her reply was what family in America doesn't have problems?
While the speeches were stellar I did notice that the Republicans want to fight and are committed to keeping our troops in the present war.
And they actually believe that Ronald Regan's trickle down theory that failed thirty years ago will actually work today. If I remember correctly African Americans were excluded from his theory all together and poverty in the African American was at an all time high.
The message that I got was that the Republicans are not for change and will probably set the country back.
While the Democrats are forward thinking and concentrating on how to make the country and its citizens obtain a better way of life.
The Republican Convention was obviously a rich mans club with an agenda that will probably on help the wealthy.
I guess Charisma comes with the territory when a person is as well off as most Republicans are.

Michelle Obama Proves To Be First Lady Material
It was a special occassion for the Obama's this week. Michelle Obama came out in support of her husband, her family, and the United States.
She stood fast and proved to all of America that she could be strong and still take care of her family.
Then she brought her daughters out on stage and they stole the show. Especially, when Michelle Obama told her daughter she had a surprise for her. The youngest said who the Jonas brothers and her mother said no, its dady.
The evening dispelled any doubts that the Obama's are to high brow to relate to the common man.
The Obama's are the text book definition of the American family.

Brandy's Back To Business
Recently I heard a song on the radio called "I'll be right here". The vocal sounded very familiar but I wasn't quite positive it was her.
But after about a minute I knew it was Brandy. It was a welcome surprise to her Brandy singing again.
I found it kind of strange because she gave up singing to go into acting. She was very successful with her hit show Moesha.
After Moesha went off Brandy left the scene to have a baby girl. I had heard Brandy was spotted at FAO Schwartz buy a doll for her daughter in NY.
The song was pretty good but I am wondering if Brandy's fan base hasn't grown up and outgrown her.
Only time will tell if Brandy can still deliver the goods. I wish her luck.

DMX, Can't Stay Away From The Law
Lately every time the news comes on there is always a story about DMX getting arrested by police.
Either he is the target of the hip-hop police or the dumbest man in the business.
He has been caught numerous times by the police doing stupid things. For example once he was at JFK airport and tried to steal a car by pretending to be an FBI agent.
Mostly he has been arrested for various driving offenses and believe it or not being cruel to the dogs that he keeps.
But DMX did not stop there. More recently he was arrested in Arizona for Felony theft of an identity. And in Florida for attempting to purchase Cocaine and Marijuana.
I suspect that Dark Man X is not in touch with reality due to the use of Crack Cocaine. And will continue to have trouble with the law until he is put away for good.
What a waste of talent and Rick James said it best "Cocaine is a powerful drug".

Will The Real Rick Ross Please Stand Up
So lets go over the who Rick Ross said he was. According to himself he is a gangster who learned his trade from a man who used to control Miami. Ross came up in the trade and started rapping about his life.
Then a few months ago pictures surface of Ross in a correction officers uniform. The pictures call into question Rick Ross' credibility. Especially on the street.
These fact help us arrive at present day. 105.1 has been playing an interview that Rick Ross gave after it was found that he really had been a C.O.. In the interview Ross said that he had a hundred thousand dollars at his moms house, he first got arrested when he was fifteen. But nothing about being a C.O.
He stuck to his gangster story. What I find ironic is most people simply like his music and don't really care if he was a gangster. But I guess he felt and gangster image helped him sell more records.
In my opinion I wish he would have just admitted he was a C.O. and said this is how far you can go when you believe in yourself.
Rick Ross you could have been an inspiration but instead you were proven to be a fake.

Lil Wayne And The Game
Recently, while listening to the Steph Lover show on 105.1 She debuted a new song by Lil Wayne and the game. I believe the name of the song is My life which is the hook sung by Weezy.
The song reminded me that The Game actually had talent and could rap like he did when he was in the G-Unit camp.
The song is hot in my opinion because listeners can easily relate the lyrics to their individual situations.
It's a club banger with a rock edge to it that automatically makes you turn up the radio when the song comes on.
I give props to Weezy and The Game for doing the dam thing.

Todays Oh Hell No Moment
Artist Are Not Selling Like They Used To
Well,well,well what have we come to. It appears that a lot of R&b and Hip-Hop artist are not selling like they used to. Case and point lets start with 50 Cents, he selling but his CD's are not flying off the shelf as they have done in the past.
Then there is Ashanti whose record sales have been disappointing and slow. And a real shocker is that not even Usher is selling like he used to and he threatened to fire his manager and hire his mother back.
Last but not least is the fact that new artist like The Dream are also not selling and posting disappointing numbers of record sales.
I think that the Hip-hop generation has grown up and is looking for quality. They have rewarded Lil Wayne with double platinum status for his very created efforts in creating The Carta III.
A lot of industry insiders believed that Weezy wouldn't sell because his music had been downloaded about 1.4 million times.
But the downloads only made people want to go out and get there own copies.
Whatever the reason artist better get back on their grind an get quality music to the masses before it's too late.

Busta Gets Dropped From Label
The word on the street is that Busta and Jimmy Ivine got into a heated discussion that ended in Busta getting dropped from Interscope records.
First of all what was Busta thinking? Who argues with the man who cuts the checks.
I think that Busta and Mr. Ivine could have handled the situation better.
Because Busta really has not been selling records lately and should have thought about that before arguing with the boss.
So, what does Busta do from here? Hopefully he re-evaluates his career and
remakes himself.
Busta Rhymes is very creative and still has a lot to offer the hip-hop world.

50 Cent and Dumb Buck
Recently I had a talk with the heir to thewooreport about the 50 Cent and Young Buck situation.
I agreed with what 50 was saying it obvious that Young Buck wasn't handling his business the way he was supposed to.
50 made it clear that he could not believe that after every thing he did for Buck. Buck would turn around a slap him in the face and say, you know what he said.
My dun said it sounded like I was on 50's dick, but I disagreed and told him that he was hating, because 50 calls it how he See's it.
When I heard the phone call that 50 recorded I immediately knew what Young Buck was saying. He was admitting that he messed up his relationship with 50 and his paper.
And we all know that when your papers messed up, so is your life.

Beef Week
It is absolutely getting hot outside because everyone from rappers to ball players are beefing with each other.
I was listing to the radio a heard that shaq was at a club and started to rap about how Koby ruined his marriage by snitching on him. He then went on to say that he had some STD and that Koby couldn't win without shaq.
Shaq then recites what I think is a pretty disrespectful hook "how does my ass taste."
I am sure that Koby is thinking of something to say back to Shaq. We will wait and see.
It is funny to hear the stupid things that people say while beefing but I hope that no one takes any of it seriously and uses violence.
Tupac and Biggie rest in peace.

Lill Wayne Sells Amillion, Rappers Fued
Lil Wayne has been blazing the charts with his new project the Carter Three. It is a compilation of songs which violate most of the formulas of making music.
Lollipop, Amillion, and my favorite Mr. Carter are creative and hot. He has already sold over a million copies in the first weeks of his release.
While Lil Wayne has sold a million units other rappers have been getting at each other. Case and point a young rapper was attacked by a rap icon who labelled the younger rapper garbage and the down fall of rap. Then in retaliation the younger rapper called the icon an old man who was out of touch with the times.
In support of the younger rapper a platinum selling rapper said that there are no rules in rap and then praised the younger rappers creativity.
And finally on a down note comic George Carlin died and he will be missed by everyone who enjoyed his creative humor.

R. Kelly Money Well Spent
Today R. Kelly was found not guilty of all fourteen counts against him. His legal team successfully placed a reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury.
So, after seven years of legal wrangling the jury acquitted him because everyone including the victim was saying that the girl in the video was not her.
But the clench er on the verdict was that R. Kelly had a mole on his back and the man in the video didn't.
Kelly has been given a second chance and I hope that he takes full advantage of it and mend his ways.

Oh, Hell No !!!
Oh, Hell No is a new segment in which I write about something that made me say "Oh Hell No!!!"
I was out taking care of business when a woman with a short jean skirt and a very small shirt walked by me. Now regularly I would welcome the sight but unfortunately she was an older lady who had her stomach sticking out because the shirt was way to small.
All I could say was "Oh Hell No!!!"
I also welcome anyone with a "Oh Hell No!!!" story to write and share it with TheWooReport.

The Woo Update
So lets see whats been going on while I have been revamping. First it looks like R.Kelly might leave the court room a free man because the man in the video does not have a mole on his back and R. Kelly does.
Second, Barak Obama has clenched the Democratic nomination for president and is now looking for a running mate. Hillary Clinton who keeps reminding everyone that she commands eighteen million votes because she wants to be considered for the Vice-President post.
Third, gas is almost at $4.00 per gallon and a lot of people are staying home if they really don't have to go anywhere. Maybe families will spend more time together.
Fourth and final, it has been very, very, hot and air conditioning has become man and woman's best friend. Stay cool.

The R. Kelly Trial Takes A Dramatic Turn
As everyone knows R. Kelly is on trial for his alleged involvement with an underage female.
The jury was selected and the trial is underway but R. Kelly's defense lawyer has come up with a last minute witness who can undermine the testimony of the prosecutions witness.
The unknown witness who was not on the prosecutions list was to scheduled to testify. But at the last moment the judge Vincent Gaughan adjourned the proceedings for the day.
Upon return to the court, the jury may have no choice but to acquit R. Kelly because there is a doubt as to whether the alleged incident every really happened. The defense witnesses creditability is in question.
Video and DVDs can be faked.

T.I. To Turn Misfortune Into Money
That's right ladies and gentleman rapper T.I. will be turning his jail time into a reality show.
T.I. will turn his community service into a reality show produced by Mtv. As you know T.I. was busted for trying to purchase automatic weapons and was placed on house arrest.
So, now we can watch as T.I. attempts to pay his debt to society by showing you what happens when a person breaks the law.
T.I. said that he is doing the show in hopes that people will learn a lesson easier than he had to.
I guess if you have to perform community service, its a good thing to get payed for it.

Serena Williams To Appear In Playboy
The Word on the street is that the statues Serena Williams will be in the August issue of Playboy.
In case you don't know who Serena Williams is. She is the tennis playing sister of Venus Williams. Both are accomplished sports professionals.
Serena has won many tennis titles and is a force to be reckoned with on the tennis circuit.
I don't think that she will appear naked but I do think that her photos will be tastefully done.
So, look for her in August because this issue might be worth purchasing.
You have just been wooed.

Talib Kweli In Africa
I was surfing BET.COM and stopped to watch a Talib Kweli video called Hostile Gospel Pt.1(Deliver Us). The video was fire and shot in Lagos Nigeria.
It was easy to see what Kweli was trying to do. He chose to create his vision in Nigeria because he wanted to show the differences between the US and Africa.
Then he goes on to rap about the differences in the US between the majority and the minorities.
I especially like the line about white teens who want to be black and rap. Most of his lyrics are delivered while riding on the back of a scooter as the driver makes his way through Lagos.
It's interesting that Kweli went to Africa to address the ills of American Society. The images and lyrics are powerful.
Talib Kweli is the most socially focused rapper that I have heard in a long time and in my opinion one of the best in the game.

Mexican Donkey Released From Jail
In a town in Mexico called Tuxtla Gutierrez justice truly applies to all. A donkey who had been jailed for three days was released.
The donkey's name is Blacky and was jailed for biting and kicking two men near a ranch outside of the town.
Officials freed the donkey after its owner paid a fine of $36 and $115 hospital bill of the men, who suffered bites to the chest and a broken ankle. The owner must also pay $480 to each man for missed work days.
The victims said that the donkey bit Genaro Vasquez,63, in the chest on Sunday and then kicked 52-year old Andres Hernandez as he tried to assist the first victim only to have his ankle fractured.
According to police it took a half dozen men to control the enraged beast.
This is not the first time Chiapas police have put animals in jail. They arrested a bull in March for eating corn crops and destroying two wooden vending stands.
Not even dogs escape the police. In 2006 a dog was locked up for 12 days after biting someone. The dogs owner was fined $18.
The story while incredible to believe is true and was reported by the Associated Press.

The Return Of Toccara
I have noticed that a lot of the people who have appeared on reality shows are popping up everywhere. For, example the girls from past Flavor of Love shows are all over magazine covers. Some are even on the radio.
But my favorite girl is Toccara Jones from America's Next Top Model. She was the full figured contestant who in my opinion was and is still banging.
She will be gracing the cover of King Magazine with a new slimmer and toned look. Toccara will also be on the weight loss reality show " The Biggest Loser."
Toccara's new look makes her the sexest and most voluptious black woman on the planet. So stay tuned.

Cannon Out All Night
Recently Nick Cannon went with Diddy and Quincy Jones to the grand openning of the new MGM Grand Hotel and Casino at Foxwoods.
It was about 1am in the morning when Cannon got a page from his beautiful new bride Mariah Carrey who told him to bring his ass home.
So, naturally he said goodby to his friends and headed home. Supposedly he was not very happy that he had to go home.
Now, lets get back to reality. Nick you got the badest chick in the game and your leaving her alone already to hang out with the boys. That is not a good thing to be doing this early in the marriage.
If it were me I would have been home handling my business. Enough said.

Neverland In Foreclosure
Michael Jackson continues to be lucky. The Superstar avoided foreclosure on the Neverland Ranch on Sunday when a new bank took over the mortgage on the property.
The property is 2,700-acres complete with an amusement park. The property was scheduled for auction this week after Jackson defaulted on payments.
A real estate investment firm bought the 5 million mortgage and is negotiating
a new plan.
Soccer star David Beckham is one of the celebs reportedly thinking of buying the ranch.
I'm sure Michael will be alright. He doesn't need the ranch because he owns property in Dubai.

Charles Barkley Owes $400,000 To Casino
It appears that ex-basketball star Charles Barkley is in a trouble with the a gambling establishment in Las Vegas Nevada.
The Wynn Hotel and Casino stated that Barkley owes them $400,000 in gambling debt because they extended him credit and he failed to repay.
After failing to repay the Nevada's prosecutors office said that they may charge Barkley criminally for not repaying the debt.
The markers or loans that were extended are like checks and Barkley would
face 10 years for each offense if the case ended up in court.
Fortunately Barkley is not going to let it go that far and make good on the markers. Barkley said all they had to do was call him and he would have taken care of it.
Barkley stated that he knows he has a gambling problem but its OK because he can afford it.
A little advice to Charles from me. That's how it always begins and after a few bad months at the casino everything that belong to you will now belong them.

Bob Marley Left Earth 27 Years Ago
It is hard to make a list of singers with a political conscience without Bob Marley being number one on the list.
Bob Marley grew up poor in Jamaica and became one of the most famous singers in the world. Of course he embraced the religion of Rastafari but it did not take away from his message.
In Zimbabwe young men remember Bob Marley and are having a smoke in his honor.
Marley left more than just a musical legacy he also passed his musical talent on to his many children such as Ziggy Marley who still creates music today.
They say time is simply a method of measuring how things have changed. I can honestly say that Bob Marley not only pleased his fans ears but also spoke to their souls.
Bob Marley gave voices to the poor around the world.

Remy Gets Eight Year Sentence
The sentence is in for Remy Ma. Now lets see she was facing 25 years but God was merciful and she received 8 years.
I am thrilled but the story did not end with the sentence. Papoose who wants to marry her was stopped from doing so because he tried to give her what prison officials thought was a universal handcuff key.
Papoose was also banned from Rikers Island and will have to wait until she gets to Bedford Hills Maximum Security Correctional Facility in Westchester County, New York to get married. But the good thing about New York, she can get conjugal visits.
Keep your head up Ma.
It takes our nation to hold us back.

Texas Prom Teen Arrested For Skimpy Dress
The prom is supposed to be a special occasion but unfortunately for Marche Taylor Texas school officials felt that her dress was to revealing and violated the schools dress code.
She was told that she was not allowed into the prom which was being held at the Marriott hotel.
After being told she could not enter by a school official, they began to argue back and forth. But, Taylor was still refused.
Taylor then offered to cover up but the answer from the school official was still no.
So, Taylor asked the next logical question. Could she have her money back? That's when everything went supernova and the cops placed the bracelets on her.
During an interview by KHOU-TV in Houston, Marche Taylor said that the official said, you are not wearing underwear. The young lady said she was but it was really none of the any body's business.
She should have been allowed to cover up or go home and change in something more acceptable. The school could have handled the situation more diplomatically.

R. Kelly Trial Begins In Chicago
Jury selection has begun in Chicago for the R. Kelly trial. Kelly is charged with child pornography. The defense has been delaying the trial because they feel that the amount of publicity that the case has gotten over the last six years makes it impossible to locate a jury that would be completely impartial.
Everyone in Chicago knows R. Kelly from either his music or the charges against him. And because of this it will be very difficult to pick a jury. The main factors in this case are the issues of racial prejudice and underage sexual relations. Both subjects fit for a film.
The experts say that a smart jury is Kelly's best bet. His lawyers say that they want people who understand Photo shop and how you edit tapes. People who don't just blindly trust the FBI.
Either way it is going to be an uphill battle for R. Kelly after the jury is selected because Television and the Movies has conditioned us to believe what we see on the screen.

Iron Man The Movie A Blast From The Past
You know what I like about the net? The ability to watch the trailers of any movie you want.
I chose Iron Man Because its been receiving good reviews. Most of us remember Iron Man from the comic book or the television.
Robert Downy Jr. has reprised the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man. But for those who have not seen or heard of Iron Man, I will now educate you on the origin of the Super Hero.
Iron Man was created by super hero creator Stan Lee in March of 1963. When first created Iron Man was a member of Superhero's called the Avengers but he has also appeared by himself.
Now to the 2008 movie. Robert Downy Jr. plays Tony Stark an arms building and dealing billionaire who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon.
Instead he builds a high tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. Then he uncovers a fiendish global plot and vows to protect the world.
The cast includes many well known names such; as Terrence Howard who plays Stark's best friend, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges who plays Stark's right hand, Samuel L. Jackson, and Hillary Swank.
Forbes has actually named Tony Stark as the richest comic book billionaire in the world. Iron Man is definitely worth a trip to the movies.

Russell And Kimora Battle Over Kids
First of all I was troubled to hear that Kimora and Russell had separated. Then I hear that there had been a divorce filing citing the reason as being "irreconcilable differences."
This brings us up to the present in which Russell is with a young model named Porschella and kimora is with an actor named Dijimon.
Kimora and her boyfriend Dijimon are expecting their first child. They have both moved on.
But, the only thing left to settle is their childrens status. Kimora wants full custody of the two girls Ming 8 and Aoki 5. Russell disagrees and wants to have joint custody of them.
It appears that Russell refuses to be a part time father and watch another man raise his children.

Chris Brown's Security Assualts Newpaper Photographer
There have been rumors that Chris Brown and Rihanna are involved with each other. But it has not been confirmed.
This brings us to today's story of a Florida newspaper photographer Luis Santana who claims that Brown's body guards chased him, beat him up and threw him to the ground.
The incident began when Santana attempted to take pictures of Brown and Rihanna at a private party in St. Petersburg Florida.
So, after beating him up, for taking the pictures they also took his $3,000 camera. The police are investigating and Chris Brown has made no comments about the incident.
This makes me wonder what Chris Brown and Rihanna are up to.

Jay-z To Create Trust Fund For Bell Kids
The buzz on the news wires is that Rapper Jay-Z is going to put his money where his mouth is.
As you know the New York City police officers were acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of Sean Bell.
Some people are writing letters and others are preparing to protest with Rev. Al Sharpton. Some have even vowed to go to jail to get the message across.
Jay-Z has seen the bigger picture which is after everything is over Sean Bell's children will still need to be provided for. He has chosen to help by creating a trust fund for the surviving children.
I don't think that there is much more to be said except good looking out Jay.

50 Cents Chain Snatched In Africa
I guess you could say that it's bad all over the world. 50 Cent who was performing in Africa had a person described as an Angolan thug run up on stage and snatch his chain.
But 50 being who he is proceeds to chase the man around until he recovered
his chain. I would guess that the thug didn't know that 50 was not a wankster or that he had been shot nine times and survived.
I also heard that this is not the first time he had his chain snatched in Africa. This being the case a lot of people are asking why dose 50 wear real chains on stage?He should wear costume jewelry on stage.
I disagree. A rapper once said to bad his jewelry was costume he got killed for nothing at all.
If 50 is going to get merked for his jewelry, naturally he going to keep it gangster.

Texas Man Takes $360 Billion Check To The Bank
Today lets talk about a dumb ass move made by a Fort Worth Texas man. Apparently a man named Charles Ray Fuller,21 attempted to cash a stolen check for billions of dollars.
Mr. Fuller handed the check to a teller at the Chase Bank who did a double take after noticing the check was for $360 Billion. The check was made out to "Fulla Comp and Entertainment'" which was a record company Fuller wanted to start, according to a NBC 5 news report.
The police said that Fuller stole the check form Paula Prettyman, the mother of the thief's girlfriend, Andrea Greer.
Everyone is shocked by the incident and believed that Fuller has lost his mind. Including his grandmother.
Fuller was arrested with a gun and marijuana in his possession. He told NBC 5 News that he denies trying to cash the $360 Billion dollar check. But he did have the Marijuana and the gun.

Lil' Kim Vs. The Repo Man
I woke up early this morning and 105.1 was talking about people in the news. Lil' Kim's name came up. It appears that the CW 11 Network took a film crew and the repo man to Lil' Kim's home in a an attempt to repossess her Bentley.
Kim did not know that she was being filmed as the repo man gave her a lecture for not making her car payment. Lil' Kim said that my accountant handles the finances.
Now this is where the story gets a little funky. Because, the Bentley in question was given to Lil' Kim by music producer Scott Storch as a gift. Storch has stopped making payments because he is having financial difficulties.
Then I went to BET.com and checked on what their sources came up with. Some one name VBOY who appeared to know the real story said that the Bentley was not repossessed because Kim's accountant issued the company funds.

Nick Cannon And Mariah Carey Engaged?
The latest buzz is are Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey engaged? The two have been sighted holding hands. There are also photos of Mariah wearing a big ring Saturday night during a New York afterparty for her new film "Tennessee. Various media reports suggests that she may be engaged.
Nick Cannon stopped by MTV News offices to promote his new film "Ball Don't Lie, and they asked him about the rumor. Cannon danced around the questions.
Carey is supposedly dating executive Mark Sudack, a member of her management team. But on April 15, People.Com ran a story called "Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's Night Out in Vegas." The story claimed that they flew into Sin City on a private jet and were spotted at a nightclub, getting "cozy" at one of the VIP tables.
The final thing adding credibility to the rumor was the report by People.Com that claimed the two held hands for most of the afterparty and never left each other's side all evening.
The rumors are either real or they are both just trying to use the media to help promote their new film projects.

MC Serch Is Back
It was about 10pm and I was channel surfing. Nothing on as usual but I came across MC Serch and YoYo.
They were on a show called Ego Trip's Miss Rap Supreme. The show is about female rappers from all over. In the first episode Search and YoYo watch as each of the contestants auditions by spiting a few bars.
Some are good and some just did not need to show up. After listing to all the contestants, the shows hosts pick 10 who will live in a house and compete against each other.
What's notable about the show is that Khia who sang "My Neck, My Back" auditioned for the show and got on. Serch brings up the fact that she sold 800,000 records and asks her what did she learn. She replied, she learned that you have to keep on grinding.
The show has been on since April 14TH but there is still a lot of episodes left. It's on VH-1 at 10pm so check it out.

Wesly Snipes Gets 3 Years For Tax Evasion
It seems to me that a lot of African-Americans are heading to jail. Especially those who are famous. Remy Ma, T.I., and Foxy who recently got out.
The latest celebrity heading to jail is the star of the Blade movies Wesly snipes. He has been given a 3 year federal prison sentence and a 5 million dollar fine for not paying his taxes.
I hate to see anyone go to jail but the government has a thing about not giving them there cut.
Wesly is going to a federal prison which is usually like country club. Most residents play Tennis and the cells are unlocked.
But on the good side Snipes fans will be rushing to see the next Blade movie made after he is released.
The sentence in my opinion is unfair because it was only given to make an example out of him to others.
